Renaissance 2.0
Richard Marks captures the essence of summertime in our youth with “Endless Summer Nights” from 1988. Time did feel like slow motion back then. Now, it feels like it’s flying by as you get busy with work and raising a family. Life sure was much simpler back then and we took it all for granted….
Life is full of goodbyes as people come and go in our lives. This amazing song from Amanda Marshall captures the bittersweet sting of these exits. Sometimes we don’t realize it’s a farewell. Looking back, I’m grateful for each and every beautiful goodbye I’ve experienced because it made me who I am today. Even when…
I’ve shared my vision of how our web experience will be more collaborate including traditionally solo activities such as viewing videos online in “Social Media Rooms”. I think one of the best ways to implement social viewing would be to offer it to sports fan so they can watch a game and chat in real-time…
I love Amy Grant and her “Oh How The Years Go By” is one of my favorites. It truly sums it all up for parents. I’ve always heard other parents say that but now I see what they mean. I remember when each of my three children were born. It feels like yesterday. It really…

No, not because she looks that hot or because she did something outrageous like kissing a girl, but simply because it totally caught me by surprise. I did not expect it to be as incredible as…

The subject matter of death spooks many people so this new website called FarAwayFish will surely give many of you the creeps. Basically, it’s a service that will send emails to your loved ones after you kick the bucket. It will also publish a profile page with your biography and share your wisdom which you…
I really enjoy the movie “Valley Girl” (1983) starring a young Nicholas Cage as a punk rocker and a fantastic cast. The soundtrack was also loaded with a slew of 1980s goodness such as Josie Cotton, The Plimsouls and Modern English with their big hit, “I Melt with You”. Basically, it’s nothing more than a…
